Where to buy W5W Bulbs?
 
I'm looking for W5W bulbs for the daytime running light of the car. I did a quick search of the forums but nothing showed up.
Does anybody know if places like Home Depot or Rona have them?
If not, where can I find some locally?

These are the guys I'm talking about:

Also.. My friend said that daytime running lights can only be white light?
But I did a look up in the police forum in it says otherwise. What can the daytime running light color be?

Thanks!

No Home Depot and Rona are HOME improvement centres.

Try Canadian Tire or Lordco, they will have them in stock.

Thanks for the input guys!
Do you guys know about the colors for the daytime running lights though?

Im not sure these are for your DRL. 168/194 are usually for license plate, side markers, etc.

try looking here for the right bulb.

Just like any low beams? White / yellow? You won't be able to get colored ones locally at least from autopart stores since they only sell DOT approved ones.
